Omak School District, officially known as Omak School District 19, is a school district that serves Omak, Washington, a city in the Okanogan region of United States. It consists of three elementary schools, two middle schools and three high schools. The district was established in 1912. Its first high school, Omak High School, was built in 1919. More schools were constructed in September 1954, when land was leased in North Omak.
Omak School District merged with Conconully School District in the 1960s; in 1964, a student count of four in Conconully prompted consideration of the merger. The district now educates 2,540 students. Omak School District covers an area of 496.8 square metres (5,348 sq ft) and has a population of 10,481, approximately 5,000 over Omak. There is also a high diversity rank for students in the district, having an index rank of 52.3 percent.
Bus transportation services and a family access program are among the services provided by the district. A virtual school was proposed for Omak in May 2009. In February 2010, Omak School District became the first district in Okanogan County and the third in Washington to open a virtual school. District superintendent Arthur Himmler died in March 2013, and there is ongoing discussion related to his replacement. The district ranks 240 of the 259 school districts in Washington, with Omak High School maintaining the highest scores and Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School garnering the lowest scores.
